“It is simple and clean, this is not a scandal” – Dr. Soleye confirms split from Nike Oshinowo

Dr. Tunde Soleye has confirmed that he is no longer living with former beauty queen, Nike Oshinowo, after six years of marriage.

We published a report yesterday, which indicated that the marriage between the pair had broken down, amidst stories that Nike Oshinowo moved out of his Lekki home sometime in the middle of last year.

“We are no longer living together. Nike and I have sent out a joint statement on the issue. It is simple and clean. This is not a scandal. We had three options, the best of which is to tell the world the truth that we now live apart,” he confirmed to Encomium magazine.

The couple stepped out together in September 2012, at Folorunsho Alakija’s party, but by that time, Nike was already living in Victoria Island, while Dr. Soleye had moved to Parkview Estate in Ikoyi.

“We have been living apart for a couple of months now. We see occasionally. She calls me when she wants and I speak with her too. There’s no fight. I have been to where she lives. We are still friends. We are going through a difficult time and we will come out of it,” he said.
